St. Clair in Abingdon, MD – Neighborhood Guide & Real Estate Overview

Welcome to St. Clair in Abingdon, Maryland — a well-kept, established neighborhood offering convenience, comfort, and lasting value in Harford County. As a local REALTOR® with years of experience serving Abingdon, Bel Air, and the greater Harford County area, I’ve helped many clients discover why St. Clair remains one of the most consistently appealing places to call home in 21009.

Neighborhood Overview

St. Clair is a thoughtfully planned residential community known for its tree-lined streets, mature landscaping, and sense of stability. Construction began primarily in the late 1980s and 1990s, with most homes featuring classic Maryland townhome architecture and contemporary single-family layouts. Properties typically range between 1,200 and 1,800 square feet and include comfortable outdoor spaces and off-street parking. The area benefits from well-maintained infrastructure and a homeowner association (HOA) that supports property values through common-area care and neighborhood standards.

Buyers appreciate that St. Clair feels “tucked away,” yet it’s remarkably accessible to major commuter routes and modern amenities. It’s a place where you can enjoy a quieter setting while being only a few minutes from retail, dining, and recreation options across Abingdon and neighboring Bel Air.

St. Clair sits near MD-24 and I-95, allowing quick access to Baltimore, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Towson, and points north toward Delaware. Nearby shopping hubs like Harford Mall and the Constant Friend Shopping Center offer national retailers, grocery options, and restaurants, while local favorites such as Box Hill Pizzeria and Looney’s Pub bring neighborhood flavor. The Abingdon Branch of the Harford County Public Library is less than 10 minutes away, and medical services—including University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health—are within a short drive.

Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy proximity to Anita C. Leight Estuary Center and Bush Declaration Natural Resources Management Area, where you can hike, kayak, or simply enjoy the Chesapeake Bay’s nearby waterways. Residents often say the area provides “the best of both worlds”—easy access to nature and to city commutes.

A Bit of Local History

Abingdon’s roots reach back to the 18th century. Named after Abingdon, England, the town became a key stop along Old Philadelphia Road. William Paca, one of Maryland’s signers of the Declaration of Independence, was born nearby. Over time, the area transitioned from rural farmland to a collection of established residential communities like St. Clair. Many historic sites and churches still stand in the surrounding region, including St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, a landmark dating to 1851 that reflects the area’s long heritage.

Schools & Education

St. Clair is served by the Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) system, which includes Abingdon Elementary, William S. James Elementary, and Old Post Road Elementary as potential zoned schools. Middle and high school assignments typically include Edgewood Middle and Edgewood High, though attendance areas can shift as the county grows. Several private and parochial options are within a reasonable distance, including John Carroll School in Bel Air and Harford Day School.

Disclaimer: School boundaries and assignments are subject to change. Prospective homebuyers should verify school zones directly with Harford County Public Schools (hcps.org) before making any real estate decisions based on school information.
